So I can use my metal nippers to cut it off the board? And this won't hurt the board in any way?

Not a problem as long as those nippers are of the "thin" variety.
After that get an old CD Audio cable and snip off the connector at one end and solder it to the left over tabs on the motherboard, red to the + and black and shield to the - terminals. Then take a small piece of electronic "perf" board and mount a new battery to it with a few pins for the CD Audio cable with the connector on it. Add 2 stand offs and screw it to the front plate somewhere. I put the one I made in front of the PC slot "never use that one anyway". Now your battery is "Permanently" off the board and very easy to get to, unplug and change.
